Watch Real Madrid vs Barcelona Live Streaming
Real Madrid take on Barcelona this weekend in the first El Clasico of the season – and it should be a cracker.
Barca have only lost one grudge match against their arch rivals since the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, with the final of last season’s Copa del Rey their only triumph.
A 5-0 victory for Barcelona this time last campaign was perhaps the most stinging loss of Jose Mourinho’s career, and the Catalan team remain something of an albatross around his neck.
However, there are signs that this season, things could be different.
Real Madrid currently sit six points clear at the top of La Liga.
Besides a bizarre 0-1 loss at home to Levante and stalemate with Racing Santander, they have been flawless.
Los Meringues have won their last ten games in the Primera Division, and have scored an average of 3.5 goals per match.
Barcelona on the other hand have begun to display the first signs of vulnerability in a very long time domestically – not long after being hailed the greatest team in club football history.
They have lost ground on Real Madrid with draws against Real Sociedad, Valencia, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao, and a stunning loss to Getafe.
Will Barcelona rise like a wounded beast and defeat their rivals, or can Real Madrid beat them into submission – in the process gaining a practically unassailable nine point lead in the table?
Real Madrid vs Barcelona tickets are on sale now for what should be one of the most exciting matches of the season.
